Dancing with the Stars [Result Show]
Sep 14th, 2006 by Ashley
(Actually I finished writing this piece before “Dancing with the Stars season 3 premiere, because unfortunately, I finished watching the result show before the competition itself /_\ Bloody, bloody Tuesday…)
The result show has changed through the last two seasons. In first season, the results were revealed at the begining of the following episode; in second season, the program expanded from 6 to 10 couples, from 1 hour to 90 minutes and an one hour result show was added to the following night.
They do know how to keep audiences watching. The result show revealed staying couples gradually, mixed with clips of previous night’s performances, professional performance, “dancing with a viewer” and encore performance chosen by the judges and audiences. Today, Emmitt was chosen to do an encore. Even though they didn’t score the highest last night, Emmitt’s surprisingly charming performance sure stole a lot of hearts.
Willa & Max, 3rd place last night, was the bottom 3 tonight. It was embarrassing. Like I said before, being a actor/actress does have its advantage in this competition. Even if you cannot achieve technical greatness, you can still manage to put a good show on your facial expression, and that counts, a lot. When you did a good performance and you score high, if you don’t stand out in personality, there’s a risk that viewers will be rushing to rescue their other favorite couples thinking you don’t need their votes. Anyways, if a couple doesn’t have enough charm, it’s not too much a shame to see them go. Afterall, it’s not a pro competition.
